Voyager of the Seas - Sydney to Tasmania 5th January - 13th January 2013 8 nights
Embarkation
I was dropped off at Circular Quay by a family member. I dropped off my 2 pieces of luggage at the bottom of the escalators which was easy and proceeded to line up to embark the ship. Embarkation took over one and a half hours at Circular Quay and with an energetic 4 year old boy, as a single mum this was not easy especially when you a trying to handle a child, a heavy back pack and tickets/passports. Whilst it took a long time, the line seemed to be slowly moving along. I was on Deck 8 so my embarkation time was 1.30pm. I did not arrive until 3:00pm so despite the fact that my embarkation time was earlier I still had to line up. (This was my own fault so I expected it). Talking to people in the line they said the line had been this long since this morning). This is understandable as they are trying to load over 3000 passengers. As Voyager of the Seas was staying in Sydney overnight there wasn't a rush to get onboard for me. Once I stepped foot on the ship staff saw that I had a child and issued him with a red wristband which has his lifeboat number on it in case there was an emergency. I was impressed by this however, when I registered for the kids club the next day there were a lot of children that were not issued with their wristbands.
Cabin Review
Promenade Stateroom
Stateroom -- 8559 -- Inside Promenade State Room mid Ship
This ship is huge so it is very daunting when you arrive onboard and are trying to find your stateroom. When I arrived to my room, the room was fine and had everything I needed. Storage was adequate for me and my son, the bathroom was a bit small but it was good for what we needed it for. There was a mini bar in the fridge stocked with soft drinks but was not switched on so you could not keep milk or drinks cold. There is a kettle in the room which was a surprise and came in very handy for my morning coffee first thing in the morning. I just used the UHT milk that was provided. Don't expect any toiletries; there isn't any only a small bar of soap and a soap dispenser in the shower. There are also no bath robes in the cabin. My cabin attendant Lee was excellent and went out of his way to really look after my son. He made up our room twice a day morning and night and anticipated our needs. He was excellent.
